There are 3 sources of calories (or energy), which are also known as macronutrients:carbohydrates, protein, andfat. Of these three,carbohydratesare the body's preferred source of energy.Carbohydratesbreak down intoglucose, which is an immediate source of energy especially for the brain and muscles.

carbohydrate is preferred as source of energy. lipid may give double the amount of energy carbohydrate give,outside the cell but inside the cell much of the energy is lost in the form of heat and thus give energy equal to that of carbohydrate. carbohydrate is more widely available inside the cell than lipids
